Take a liberal dollop of shameless sexism and pop it in a blender with half a pound of evil media marketing genius and one whole tasteless videogame award show. Place in the YouTube oven for maximum heat and, when attention has risen, sprinkle in 6 naked models, a few gallons of body paint, some high-profile videogames looking for cheap exposure… and what appears to be a male Madden fan in drag.

Body paint and naked girls. The perfect human billboards put to work at the Spike VGA awards. Credit: Spike TV.There you have it, a summary of the time-honoured culinary recipe for making easily attained waves in the videogame market by utilising minimum effort and appealing to the lowest common denominator while justifying your actions in Satan’s crowded kitchen by using the word ‘art.’ Yes, while equality in videogaming would suggest the recent Spike VGA awards show should have included a smattering of body-painted male models by way of balance, in actuality the tried and tested way to bolster exposure of TV events and gaming products is with a little help from naked girls and extreme close-ups.Classy, as always.
